Sculptors do not always make sculptures by hand. With increasing technology in the 20^th century and the popularity of conceptual art over technical mystery, more sculptors turned to art fabricators to produce their art-works.

With fabrication, the artist creates a design and pays a fabricator to produce it. This allows sculptors to create larger and more complex sculptors out of material like, cement, metal and plastic, that they would not be able to create by hand. Sculptors can also be made with 3D printing technology.
